    Managed 12 hours' sleep in the end. All I've done since is have a shower and potter around. Now on the MB and madcat1 is sitting behind my head trying to groom my damp hair with her fangs.

    p.s. I love my LG washing machine because it has a huge door which opens flat back, and takes King Sized duvets (9 tog, winter ones!) so you can wash them at home with a dedicated 'Duvet' programme. Massive of programme options, all sensibly laid out and easily understood, so you actually use them! And it will do the tiniest load as well; has delay timer; plays a tune (once!) when it finishes, and switches off the power to save money afterwards. Wouldn't be without it.

    Done more than I thought looking at my list:D

    Pigpen I have tried to do what you suggested and do small bits at a time, I'm still tired but at least I'm not collapsing in a heap.

    PenelopePenguin I think it was you:o I do try to get them all to join in but sometimes it's just easier to do it myself. They empty the DW, put their own washing away and tidy their own rooms so am getting there.

    Hope you are all ok and best wishes to Toots, Diva and LadyLiberty. I am so jealous you are going to Glastonbury. My friends son is going and he said there is no point in packing a towel as he won't be showering:rotfl:
